Swimming | Week 1 & 2

 LI: to learn safety in water. 

Last week and this week the Y8 group went to the YMCA pools in Panmure to learn safety skills in the water. We were split into 2 groups depending on how confident we are in water. To get into the pool safely we put both hands on one side and entered. 

The different skills we learnt were;

Back Sculling - lay on our back, keep our heads above the water and move our hands thumb up thumb down in and out. (slightly kick underwater).

Forward Sculling - lay on our chest, keep our heads above the water and move our hands thumb up thumb down in and out. (slightly kick underwater).

Floating (facing up) - make a star fish facing up. 

Floating (facing down) - make a star fish facing up. 

Dolphin Diving - dive down, touch the floor of the pool with both hands and jump up. 

Streamline - put our arms behind our ears and kick (with and without swimming board).
